Ed Westwick & Jessica Szohr Get Smoochy On The Streets Of NYC

AWWWW!
Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Gossip Girl co-stars and real-life lurvers Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr were spotted in NYC this week takin’ their pooch for a walk … pausing every so often to engage in a little bit o’ public lip-locking … behold:


So cute … but it’s nothing we haven’t seen before. You may recall that the lovebirds were snapped gettin’ all smoochy at Madison Square Garden at a Knicks basketball game last month. They make such a cute couple … tho, when you think about their characters on GG, it’s kinda of an odd pairing. Clearly they are into one another which is very sweet to see. Since Blake Lively and Penn Badgely are paired up in real life as well … do you think there are any other real-life love matches to be made among the cast of Gossip Girl?

Eliza Dushku Does ‘Boston Common’ Magazine

Covergirl
Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Dollhouse star and Buffyverse alum Eliza Dushku was on hand at Alibi inside the Liberty Hotel in Boston, MA earlier this week for a premiere party in honor of the new issue of Boston Common magazine which features her on the cover. Here are a few photos of the beautiful Eliza at the magazine party this week:


Eliza always looks so great … I’m glad to see that her hometown is so proud of her. While I’ve never read an issue of Boston Common before I’m pretty sure the mag was helped muchly by having Eliza on its cover … as would any magazine, actually. I’m really enjoying Dollhouse and I’m really hoping that the show will be able to find its audience so that it can stay on the air. Love her!!

Prince William Gets An Ouchie!

Scarred for life
Thursday, March 19th, 2009

OUCH! Did you know that Prince William has a huge scar on his forehead a la Harry Potter? Yeah, me neither … until a new interview and photo surfaced that distinctly shows his pretty big scar which he apparently got as a child when he got beaned in the head with a golf club:


Prince William today revealed that he was left with a ‘Harry Potter scar’ after being hit around the head with a golf club when he was a boy. The Prince said the scar ‘glows sometimes’ – like that of the boy wizard – and had been caused by a friend wielding a seven iron while on a putting green. The 26-year-old also revealed an unlikely childhood dream of becoming a policeman, during an exclusive interview conducted by a 10-year-old cancer patient for CBBC’s Newsround. The aspiring Royal correspondent, named Alice, is a patient at the Royal Marsden Hospital, where Prince william is lending his support for a new cancer centre for children and teenagers. During the interview William explained how he got a scar on his head, which has been photographed looking inflamed after he plays sport. Pointing to his forehead, he told Alice: “That was for my Harry Potter scar, as I call it, just here. I call it that because it glows sometimes and some people notice it – other times they don’t notice it at all. I got hit by a golf club when I was playing golf with a friend of mine. Yeah, we were on a putting green and the next thing you know there was a seven-iron and it came out of nowhere and it hit me in the head. So, yeah, I was in hospital for that, but that was very minor compared to how many times you’ve been into hospital.” When aspiring reporter Alice quizzed him on his ambitions as a boy, he revealed he had aspired to join the constabulary – but eventually settled on Army. He said: “A long time ago I wanted to be a policeman, when I was younger. I soon learnt that probably wasn’t a good idea. At the moment I’m still doing some sort of helicopter flying, doing search and rescue. It’s going very well. My instructors would probably say, ‘Not so well’, but I think it’s going not too badly. I haven’t managed to dent any of the aircraft, I haven’t flown into any trees yet, so, it’s going okay.” During his the interview, conducted at Clarence House, William said he was following in his mother’s footsteps by lending support to the Royal Marsden Hospital … The Prince was also clear on who would win an arm wrestle between himself and Prince Harry. “You know the answer to that. It’s not even a contest. Obviously I’d win. Obviously. As the bigger brother you have that psychological power over your brother, you see,” he told Alice. Revealing what he would do if he were invisible for a day, he said: “I’d probably get myself in a lot of trouble. I’d probably go into the newspaper office, and I’d hide in the background and listen to all the stories they talk about me.”

See, you do learn something new every day. I cannot believe that I’ve never seen this huge scar on Wills’s head before. I really love that he did this interview with young Miss Alice. What a thrill to be able to interview the prince. Concerning his comments about who would win in an arm wrestling match, I say we put the two princes to the test … have them strip down to the waist and arm wrestle. That way, we’d know for sure :)

Jeremy Piven Enjoys A Smoke With Snoop Dogg

Puff, daddy
Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Actor Jeremy Piven got to hang out with rapper Snoop Dogg at Kanye West’s Grammy Party last month and new photos of the party-goers have come to light. It would seem that Piven and Snoop indulged in a little of the smokey smoke:


LOLOLOL! HMMM … I wonder what the guys were smoking in that blunt … cuz I’d bet a lot of money that it wasn’t tobacco. Honestly, tho, if you’re gonna get caught smokin’ down I guess it’s kinda cool to get “caught” with Snoop Dogg. Is it Friday yet?

SxSW: Day One

The TV Guide
Thursday, March 19th, 2009

So my first day here at South by Southwest was pretty damn fun, I must say. While the festival is a bit overwhelming, I think I’m getting the hang of how things work around here. It does help that everyone in attendance (that I’ve run into thus far) has been really cool, really friendly. The people of Austin have been amazing but the imports have been really cool, too. I got to see 4 performances last night — Janelle Monáe, Ladyhawke, Alaska in Winter and Young Love — here are a few photos:


Janelle was a nice surprise. I had heard her music before but never got to see her perform live — she’s amazing. She’s like James Brown and Outkast all packaged into a tiny little woman. Her whole stage persona was really fun and her show was really spectacular. Ladyhawke doesn’t have much stage presence but her music is really phenomenal. Altho she looks like James Hetfield from Metallica circa 1985 and dresses like Debbie Gibson circa 1988 her musical talent cannot be denied. I love all of her songs, I’m really glad my friend Tony introduced me to her music. Alaska in Winter was another surprise … he’s a one man band that brings the Fischerspooner sound into the hipster realm. I liked his whole performance, it was very inventive and fun. Young Love, as always, was a blast. I wanted to dance and YL did not disappoint. I’m really glad he’s got new music out cuz I really love his debut album a lot.

After the shows, I made my way out to the Red Bull Tower Party on the outskirts of Austin and chilled with my good friend Rachel and her friends. That party went until 5am but I had to leave by 2. Ugh. There is so much to do but I really have to pace myself or I’ll die ;)

Along the way, I got to meet some awesome Pink readers … I have to say hey to Denise, Alice, Keri, Gabby, Katie (who’s in Detroit and can’t be here but I heart her anyway) as well as Roberto and Jocelyn (who I met at the SESAC showcase at Volume) — who I got to take a pic with:



There is so much to do … I’m just trying to take as much in as I can and still function :) Tonight is Tori Amos and I’m so excited. I’m planning on seeing The Von Bondies and Peter Murphy before Tori so it should be a fun night. I hear there is a Chick-Fil-A around here somewhere … I’m planning to grab some food there before I get back to the fun. Expect Tweets from me all night long … Woot!

Rihanna Has Another Run-In With Police

Nothing serious, just a traffic violation
Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Rihanna, who has been popping up all over the country in recent weeks, has made her way back to SoCal and spent part of last night reportedly partying with Katy Perry, Hayden Panettiere among others at hotspot Les Deux. The night was going swimmingly until she piled herself into her chauffeured car on her way home. The driver ran a red light, the cops pulled him over and — Bam! Drama!


Rihanna’s late night on the town ended with another run-in with cops — but this time it was her driver, not Chris Brown, answering the questions. hortly after 2:00 AM PT, cops pulled over her driver in Hollywood for no front license plate and for tinted windows. Rihanna was sitting in the backseat of the vehicle while LAPD issued the ticket. RiRi had just wrapped up a night of partying at Les Deux.

OY! It looks like drama just follows this poor girl around. I must say that this total non-issue is great if only because she was out partying with her girlfriends rather than a certain boyfriend who is accused of assaulting her. It’s good to see Rihanna out and about again … I really hope she’s recovering well and I wish her all the best.
